This is a command used to cast a spell. Depending on the
spell, it may be cast at oneself, at another player, item
or creature - or any combination of those four. A spell must
be prepared before it may be cast, using the PREPARE
verb.
Armor hindrance
is always a risk factor when casting, as it may affect the
chances of your cast working correctly. Those who are undertrained
in Armor Use will find
their chances for armor hindrance are higher. Those who are
overtrained may find their chances for spell casting failure
are lower.
If you do not specify a target, the spell with be cast on
yourself by default.
It is recommended that you type the name of any target in
full. Should you accidentally cast at the wrong target, a
misfire could be hazardous to the health of your character.

which may occur when one successfully kills undead critters
